Limerick (;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Limerick - Definition of limerick by Merriam-Webster )〕 (アイルランド語:Luimneach) (:ˈl̪imʲɨnʲəx))〔From ''loimeanach'' (:ˈl̪imʲənəx) meaning "bare marsh" or "bareland", originally applied to part of the shoreland of the Shannon immediately below the present city〕 is a city in county Limerick, Ireland. It is located in the Mid-West Region and is also part of the province of Munster. Limerick City and County Council is the local authority for the city. The city lies on the River Shannon, with the historic core of the city located on King's Island, which is bounded by the Shannon and the Abbey River. Limerick is also located at the head of the Shannon Estuary where the river widens before it flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Limerick is the third most populous city in the state, and the fourth most populous city on the island of Ireland.
==Geography and political subdivisions==
There are 102,161 people living in the Limerick City Metropolitan District.〔 On 1 June 2014 following the merger of Limerick City and County Council a new Metropolitan District of Limerick was formed within the united council which extended the city area. The Metropolitan District includes the city urban area and extends outwards towards Patrickswell in the west and Castleconnell in the east. The City Metropolitan Area however excludes city suburbs located within County Clare. When included this increases the overall city and metropolitan area by a further 5,000 with a combined total population of 107,161.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Limerick Diocesan Heritage Project -Parteen-Meelick-Coonagh Parish )〕
Limerick is one of the constituent cities of the Cork–Limerick–Galway corridor which has a population of 1 million people. It is located at a strategic position on the River Shannon with four main crossing points near the city centre. To the south of the city is the Golden Vale, an area of rich pastureland. Historically, much of the city's industry was based on this rich agricultural hinterland and it is particularly noted for Limerick Ham.
